Re: making an ISO image

[Rob Whyte]

Hi,

mount -a reads your /etc/fstab file.

If sda2 is in that file and has the location as /mnt yes it would work.

But it is unlikely.


So that is why you need to specify the partition, being /dev/sda2 and
the mount point which is /mnt

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

 

Good luck

Rob

re: making an ISO image

[Glenn / Lenny]

Hi Rob,
One thing did not work, and that may be why the chroot /mnt does not work...
The command mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
gives me the message:
mount point /proc does not exist
and when I run chroot /mnt
failed to run /bin/bash, no such file exists.
I am logged in as root, that is why I did not write sudo.
Thanks, I hope I can get the GRUB fixed up.

What have ou tried when fixing your old install on sda2.

That should be recoverable quite easily.


You need to mount the /dev from your currently running Ubuntu to the
mounted partition.

For example

mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev

Assuming that sda2 is mounted to /mnt


Repeat that for sys and proc

mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys

mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc


Then change the root file system using the chroot command

chroot /mnt

Now your computer thinks you are actually using sda2 instead of your USB.

If you want to install your boot loaded from sda2 to your hard drive
type this:

grub-install /dev/sda

update-grub

thene xit the chroot

exit


Good luck.

So how do I tell it where to write the image of the USB drive?
There are no pull-down menus and the applications key does nothing.

Subject: Orca does not speak

Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 64 on an Intel NUC PPYH with 8GB of RAM.
I have run Ubuntu on this 15.1064 bit  already, so this should work.
I ran Orca on start up, and set up the voice like I usually do, but on
okaying it, Orca shuts down, it says:
screenreader off
So I log out, and get the bongo sound, and bring up Orca in the log in
window, and Orca stays on.
This is a live version on an SD card with a persistent file.
I have noticed, that when I log out, before the bongo sound, Orca says:
screenreader off
Then Orca comes on again for the log in window, and stays on.
When I log back in, there is no speech.
But that would indicate that Orca is working, but silent.
Is there a way I can make Orca louder?
If I do:
control + alt + T
and then type:
sudo speaker-test -c 2
I get the speaker test
and I end it with control + C
So I know that my system is not muted and the volume is okay when I log
in.
I wonder if there is a problem with eSpeak?
One difference I did between the speech settings in the log in window, and
when I was in the desktop, was that I selected U.S. English in the synth
list, instead of the standard English, which I left alone for the log-in
window.
Could this be a problem for eSpeak?
If I need to change that back, can someone send me the number of tabs to
get to the voice selection list?
Or is there a command to setting Orca to its defaults?

I sent this problem to the Orca list, but have heard nothing there.

Thanks for any help.
